Voices of First Responders: How to Facilitate Adoption and Usage of Communication Technology - An Integrated Analysis of Qualitative and Quantitative Findings
The Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) is being developed to provide a dedicated network for the use of first responders during incident response. A wave of new communication technologies compatible with the NPSBN is on the horizon, as
The Path to Cloud Federation through Standardization
This paper describes the efforts of the NIST Cloud Computing Program in the development of understanding the federated cloud concept through the creation of a reference architecture, cooperation with the IEEE and resulting in the publication IEEE 2302-2021
The Era of Knowledge Plane (KP) Platforms Driven Networking-Anchor for Federation of Autonomic/Autonomous Networks (ANs) Across Industry Sectors
Future Networks, Beyond 5G and 6G, will continue to expand in scale, complexity and interconnectivity, and will be highly shaped by distributed systems that serve various use cases that go beyond current Use Cases like mMTC (massive Machine Type
Measurement-Based Analysis of Millimeter-Wave Channel Sparsity for LoS and OLoS Scenarios
The millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel is often assumed to be sparse due to significant diffraction losses compared to microwave bands resulting in fewer paths reaching the receiver. While the sparsity property has been used in a significant amount of
Entangling Superconducting Qubits over Optical Fiber - Towards Optimization and Implementation
A quantum network linking superconducting quantum computers would enable highly sought-after applications such as distributed quantum computing. Optical photons are the natural way of encoding information for long distance communication; however
Restricted Domain Compressive Sensing for Antenna Metrology
In this paper, we prove a compressive sensing guarantee for restricted measurement domains in spherical near-field to far-field transformations for antenna metrology. We achieve this by first defining Slepian functions on a measurement sub-domain $R$ of
The Generation of Software Security Scoring Systems Leveraging Human Expert Opinion
While the existence of many security elements can be measured (e.g., vulnerabilities, security controls, or privacy controls), it is challenging to measure their relative security impact. In the physical world we can often measure the impact of individual
Efficient Parameter Exploration of Simulation Studies
Simulation is a useful and effective way to analyze and study complex, real-world systems. It allows researchers, practitioners, and decision makers to make sense of the inner working of a system that involves many factors often resulting in some sort of
